Band history
[edit]Band from TV made their debut at the 58th Primetime Emmy Awards TV Guide afterparty[1] and as of 2007[update] plays high-paying charity concerts[2] and perform for studio albums. They contributed a song ("You Can't Always Get What You Want") to the House M.D. Original Television Soundtrack,[3] as well as releasing their own album: Hoggin' All the Covers (recorded in July 2007).[1][4]

As of 2022 there have been no live performances since a private event in early 2016.[5][6][7][8] In 2016 they released a Christmas EP through Bandcamp.[9]
